God, the Infinitely Greatest Being

For as God is infinitely the greatest Being, so he is allowed to be infinitely the most beautiful and excellent: and all the beauty to be found throughout the whole creation, is but the reflection of the diffused beams of that Being who hath an infinite fullness of brightness and glory. God’s beauty is infinitely more valuable than that of all other beings upon both those accounts mentioned, viz. the degree of his virtue, and the greatness of his being, possessed of this virtue.

If you embrace all the created universe, but not Christ, you are infinitely parochial.

to think of the pains of martyrdom and of hell whenever I feel pain.

In the last hour of my life

never do anything, which I should be afraid to do, if it were the last hour of my life.
